with regards to the valve stems its best to feed rope through the spark plug hole and fill the cylinder up whilst its at bdc then by hand crank the engine up to compress the rope gently.this will hold ure valves in.

my coils mounted to the engine block side.was before new coil anyway. fully cleaned and prepared all touching surfaces to baremetal etc. the difference is so evident now and cars runs so much better

yeap let me know how u get on

lol ,eh yeah i mean the car feels alot better and i am hoping thats it now. as for it taking a knock i remember seeing a tiny lil crack last june on the side of it when i did an engine conversion / swap. i defo didnt knock it at all as i took so much care when putting in the turbo engine. its very rusty all around the whole coil so i am guessing the constant hot and cold around engine bay has caused moisture to build up inside it and has gradually split it open. even the little chassis the ignitor and coil sit on was rusty and corroded,took me a good few hours to fit up new coil to chassis as all bolts were seized up bad and i cleaned the chassis up. well worth doing and as i said hopefully its all good now,does pull and rev up noticably better

ordered up a new coil pack and leads by the company "blueprint".i got trade price and it was £100 for the both. i also cleaned up all the mating surfaces to the main coil meatl and the chassis it sits on. will report back and we will have to see if this fixes my issues.

update...... continued to upgrade ignition system after an intermittent misfire issue appeared randomly.not only issues around 2000 rpm but fully cutting out on occasions which is no good. i had a look at the coil pack and found this

just do the above and u will have ure answer dude. both are quite likely to happen , and neither are to bad to fix. you DONT have to remove head to do valve stem seals and a turbo rebuild kit are feck all on ebay .

either turbo seal or valve stem seals easyiest way to check is to remove exhaust manifold and see if theres oil residue in any of the ports in the head

anybody had this problem ?

as above please what you got ? new ideally or seconds. thanks alot

havent bought new leads or king yet and i dont know how old they are plugs gaps are good

just went to take a picture of coilpack and ignitor etc and found the side of the coil looking like this would this cause my issues ??

hey guys im hoping somebody can help me as today my starlet played up bad. I am getting a definate missfire at 2,000 rpm under ligh load INTERMITTENTLY. happend a few times and on the way so to work, it cut out fully and took two attempts to start. also on way home the missfiring on the odd occasion and also cut out again !! the diagnostics had shown all is fine. just had new plugs, dizzy cap and rotor. checked plugs and they are bang on with no fouling. its a wierd intermitant problem and I dont understand ? help please !!

ohh right....... mikey ,let me know if you go out or have a mini meet blah blah blah. you my son are outa order......lol

yes x 2

haha, grama iz pritty wack that what u meant to say ??

my mates up at brands and apparently theres a white gt starlet there by sjm motorsport. apparently its quite silly quick..... anybody know of them

they are all a standard height dude. im pretty sure the td04 ones hang as low as the ct9 decats also

just add my afs are always bang on each and every time dude

I have had this on previous rrfprs and also currently on my GENUINE SARD which is new. It hasnt bothered me one bit and does it occasionally. my advice, dont worry bout itt

surely the only way that can happen is because of pressure coming from spark plug hole.

right somebody pm me as I feel left out.lol

its not to bad of a job.just time consuming when doing it thoroughly. I bought a donor car and chucked all that in mine.

in southend essex.and that sounds awesome dude.converting n/a is fun and different. were bouts u based mate ?
